not sufficient to satisfy them. The visible sup.
ply statement, which showed decrease OF

known that sll OF the grain charters curing The
past week had not lett for the seaboard. the
announcement of the appointment OF re

THE COFFEE BOOM AND ITS ATTENDING
RESULTS.
There is SO muCn trash and falsehOOd
being published, says the Louisville
Courier-Journal, about the rise in coffee
that something relisbe is in order. Rio
coffee has advanced 100 per cent. IL twelve
months, and has even pushed up closely
to the values of the fine, mild types,
which are nominGlly worth two or three
times as much. The elaborate trade ia
oles Of the Treasury Department show
that the coffees imported into the United
States in the last five years have aver
aged $50, 600, coo pounds, costing an av
ersge of $50 100000. The aver
age import price in the last
pound. The finer grades contribute TO
this average, but with that exception
prices have considerably more than
doubled. 1t is impossible to ascertain
the exact classification of COT
fees imported, but an idea
of the increased cost of all kinds TO
the nation may be formed from the fact
that the import cost OF year ago
has doubled. At the present price
of fair Rio in New York, all coffee
imports would amount to SIP, 900, 900,
against five years. average of all kinds
since 1881 of 55,600,OOO. A New York
newspaper brought out the other day
long and snowy article which made it
appear that that the rise would cost the
Consmers of the United States an Gddi-
tiopsl $50. O00,O 900, whereas at the
advance an coffees in the largest guam
tity ever imported would cost in full,
only aboue 100000
